Chapter 98
He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 98
Once they picked up the medication, Jarrod instructed the driver to take them back to The Sterling Residences.
In the past, the only time Jarrod ever stepped foot in the master bedroom was to fulfill his marital duties. Given their current situation, Stella felt any physical intimacy was completely off the table.
She turned to him. “Mr. Fuller, thank you for everything tonight. I’m fine now, really.”
Jarrod ignored the dismissal. His expression dark, he strode over, holding up the prescribed ointment. “Sit down. Turn your shoulder. I’m putting this on you.”
Before Stella could even process the command, Jarrod pressed her down onto the edge of the mattress and brushed her tangled hair away from her neck.
The icy shock of the ointment against her collarbone made her gasp and involuntarily flinch.
Stella couldn’t shake the feeling that this was far too intimate, but she forced herself to rationalize it as paranoia.
But then, his fingers traced lower, gliding down her shoulder blade and brushing directly against the clasp of her bra…
“Mr. Fuller, the ointment—”
Before she could even ask if he was finished, Jarrod hoisted her up by the waist, crushing her flush against his chest.
Her back was pressed flush against his chest as he ravaged her mouth from the side.
His overwhelming masculine scent, laced with the sharp tang of alcohol, hijacked her senses, while the awkward angle left her entirely defenseless.
Jarrod’s arms locked around her like steel bands, his kiss ferocious, desperate, and dripping with raw desire.
